Hey Mike.
Thanks for the info.

Please address a few issues:

1. In the Multi-CMP design, if I use a SMP design with 1 processor/chip, and instantiate many chips, it would be a proxy for a many core CMP. But, , the L2 cache will become private then. What I really want is that the L2 cache be shared and distributed with the cores. 2. The distributed L2 issue is addressed in the NUCA design with using multiple banks and partitioning the address space. But, will this work for 32+ processors ?

Thanks for the help,
Niket.
